Norene brought me this baby quilt that is her brother's from around 70 years ago. It had been hand tied and was falling apart, so she fixed it up and sent it my way to machine quilt with a new backing.
The fabrics are SO worn and thin, I dare not sneeze when working with it!
I kept it super simple with a big swirl.
You can see how thin the blue fabric in the bottom corner is- the batting shows through.
I'm betting most of these fabrics were from clothing.
Norene's brother is just going to have it to keep- it is not going to get used at all, if even displayed. So, we were not too concerned with perfection here.
Thanks Norene for the super neat little project!
